Check-mate for Indian chess player after phone ploy

　　用手机蓝牙装置作弊 印度一国际象棋选手被禁赛10年

　　An Indian chess player has been banned for 10 years for cheating after he was caught using his mobile phone's wireless device to win games, chess officials said on Wednesday.

　　印度国际象棋协会的官员12月27日表示，该国一名国际象棋选手因为在比赛中使用手机蓝牙装置作弊而被该组织给予禁赛10年的处罚。

　　The player, Umakant Sharma, had logged rating points at a rapid pace in the last 18 months and also qualified for the national championship, arousing the suspicion of officials and bemusing rivals.

　　据路透社12月27日报道，此人名叫乌马坎特·夏尔马，他的成绩在过去18个月里一直呈迅猛增长之势，同时他还取得了印度全国国际象棋锦标赛的参赛资格，而这一切引起了来自该协会官员以及那些对此大惑不解的对手们的怀疑。

　　Sharma was finally caught at a recent tournament when officials discovered that he had stitched a Bluetooth device in a cloth cap which he always pulled over his ears.

　　在前不久举行的一次比赛中，夏尔马终于露馅了。当时那些官员们注意到他总是用一顶布制帽子遮住自己的耳朵，经过检查，人们发现一个手机蓝牙通讯装置被其缝在了帽子的内部。

　　He communicated to his accomplices outside the hall, who then used a computer to relay moves to him, Indian chess federation secretary D.V. Sundar said on Wednesday.

　　印度国际象棋协会的官员桑达尔表示，夏尔马借助此装置与待在赛场外面的同伙取得联系，后者则通过电脑将下一步的走法传递给他。

　　"We have banned him for 10 years," he told Reuters. "We wanted to send a clear message to such people." Chess officials were also probing whether another player had similar advantages through such illegal means, he added.

　　桑达尔说："我们已经对他做出了禁赛10年的处罚。我们希望通过此举来向那些有同样想法的人传达一个明确的信号。"
